For practice and draft work you could try out Pencil – http://www.pencil-animation.org/ it’s a basic 2D animation suite that will let you draw your own images frame by frame and add bitmap backgrounds etc and is compatible with computer drawing tablets (in fact is designed especially for that purpose) and lets you add audio too, best of all it is completely free to download and open-source.
If you fancy trying your hand at 3D animation then you should take a look at Blender – http://www.blender.org a very full featured free 3D suite. Check out what i do with Blender here; http://www.spiceyoursite.co.uk Hope this helps.
